Why even water should be drunk in moderation

There is no food or drink in the world that we can consume in any quantities This also applies to water, which contains zero calories and does not have any harmful components such as sugar or salt.

The nutritionist said that it is necessary to consume water evenly. If a person absorbs it in large quantities, it can lead to heart rhythm disturbances and even vitamin deficiency. This is especially relevant for the cold season and low physical mobility.

If a person does not regularly engage in intensive training, but drinks 4-5 liters of water every day, he will lose almost the entire supply of minerals in the body in the shortest possible time. This will provoke, at the first stage, arrhythmia – a dangerous disturbance of the heart rhythm, with the release of sodium from the cells.

Then vitamins will gradually disappear in the body, and this can already provoke vitamin deficiency with all possible consequences, including even such an exotic a disease like scurvy.

But this does not mean at all that the water cannot be drunk. You just need to consume up to one and a half liters of water every day, and in hot climates, when the body loses a lot of moisture, you need to drink even more. Elderly people, who often do not feel thirsty, should be especially careful when drinking water. In this case, an even more dangerous pathology may develop – dehydration.
